Sugar Alcohol is in sugar free foods.. it's the artificial sweeteners
like polyol, polyhydric alcohol, or polyalcohol and other types of
sweeteners. Equal, splenda and sweet n' low do not contain sugar
alcohol. For diabetics this is good stuff and my brother swears by one
of them and just couldn't understand why I wouldn't try it. Sugar
alcohol works on us gastric bypass patients just like sugar does so
beware. The dietician at St. Mary's told me to add the sugar and sugar
alcohol together... so if there was 5 sugar and 5 sugar alcohol that's
fine, but if it goes over 10 grams to stay away from it.

I've noticed a few times that the sugar and sugar alcohol levels per
serving were over 10 grams (I can have more then 10 grams now... yea!)
but that the serving size was like 6 pieces. No way was I going to eat
6 pieces so it was ok.
